Members Present: Chairman Blake Tarpley, Secretary Aldona Standridge, Jimmy Sims, Jimmy Davenport, and Wesley White. Members Absent: None. Visitors/Officials Present: City Planner David Harris, City Attorney Trey Smith, Planning Assistant Lequitta Jones, and David T. Burton. WELCOME VISITORS The First Order of Business was a request to review and approve the minutes of the May 19, 2014 Regular Meeting. Member Sims made the motion to approve the minutes as written. Member Davenport seconded the motion and passed unanimously. The Second Order of Business was a Public Hearing requesting approval for variances to dimensional requirements for an accessory building, located 2001 Bradley Lane, in an R-1 zone, submitted by David T. Bunton, as follows: 2c) Code Section 3.1.2(C) - a variance of 4’ to allow a rear yard setback of 8’ 2a) Code Section 3.1.2(B) - 10’ variance to allow an overall height of 34’ 2b) Code Section 3.1.2(D) - 7’ variance to allow side yard on street 2d) Code Section 3.1.2(H) - a variance of 64sf to allow 2,240sf total floor space (BOA.14.06.3606) Mr. Burton said he wanted to move an historic building to his residence. There will be architectural similarity between the primary residence and this building. I will need the approval of the four mentioned variances. City Planner Harris said in my opinion if you feel that you can put this building on this lot and still be in conformity with the spirit and intent of the zoning code, which is not to let people put accessory building on their property and make visual negative impact on the neighborhood. He does have unique circumstances on this lot that is at least twice or three times as big as nearly any of the lots around him. The lot is higher than the surrounding area by several feet and has a lot of vegetated barrier. Since the architectural similarity between the primary residence and proposed accessory building, I think this is a reasonable request. All the neighbors were notified and seemed okay with it. Member Standridge made the motion to approve the four variances as submitted. The motion was seconded by Member Sims and passed unanimously. Adjourned. ____________________ Chairman Blake Tarpley
